Informació de seguretat
Always operate the generator in a well-ventilated area to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Never operate indoors or in enclosed spaces. Keep children and pets away from the generator during operation. Ensure the generator is placed on a level surface.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Protect Feature
This generator is equipped with a CO Protect system designed to automatically shut down the engine if carbon monoxide levels become dangerously high in the operating area. This feature is a critical safety measure, but it does not replace the need for proper ventilation. Always use a battery-operated carbon monoxide alarm in any enclosed or partially enclosed area where a generator is used.

Configuració
- Desembalatge: Carefully remove the generator from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Afegeix oli de motor: The generator is shipped without engine oil. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and add approximately 0.4 liters of 5W-30 engine oil. Do not overfill. Ensure the generator is on a level surface when checking oil levels.
- Afegeix combustible: Fill the fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 89 or higher. Do not use E85 or any other fuel type. Do not overfill the tank.
- Initial Startup Preparation: Before starting, ensure all electrical devices are disconnected from the generator.

Instruccions de funcionament
- Inici del generador:
- Gireu l'interruptor del motor a la posició "ON".
- Move the choke lever to the "CHOKE" position.
- Estireu fermament la maneta de l'arrencador de retrocés fins que el motor arrenqui.
- Un cop el motor s'hagi engegat, moveu gradualment la palanca de l'estrangulador a la posició "RUN".
- Mode Eco: The generator features an Eco Mode switch. When activated, the engine speed automatically adjusts to the load, improving fuel efficiency and reducing noise levels. For sensitive electronics, ensure the generator is running smoothly before connecting.
- Dispositius de connexió:
- The control panel includes AC 120V 20A outlets, an AC 120V 30A RV Ready outlet, a 12V DC port, and dual USB ports (5V 1A, 5V 2.1A).
- Connect your devices to the appropriate outlets. Do not exceed the generator's rated wattage.
- Capacitat paral·lela: This generator is parallel capable, allowing you to connect two PowerSmart inverter generators for increased power output. Refer to the parallel kit instructions for detailed connection procedures.
- Temps d'execució: The generator can run for approximately 4.5 hours at 50% load.
